Monologue video & reflection-Amy

As for my performance of this monologue, I think there are still some good points and areas for improvement. The advantage is that I have enough emotion, the lines are in rhythm. There are calm slow place. There are also some emotional lines. I show the different mood by my voice. I felt like I was pretty consistent on stage. I didn't show any nervous action. Especially this monologue that I feel deeply, because I have a friend who is going through this period. When I perform this monologue, it is like speaking to her. What I think needs to be improved is that I can perform this monologue more strongly, so that the quiet part can be contrasted with the emotional part. I was actually touched by everyone's performance. I saw a lot of people brave to take the first step, standing on the stage in front of everyone performing their monologue. Especially for Lauren, her first and second time shows obvious improvement. She had already performed very well as the first opening performance. But then she was thinking about how to make her acting more natural and fluent. Then she tried it a second time, and she did find a more natural way to perform. So I was impressed by her performance. I really like the atmosphere of our whole class. Everyone is very brave to try, in the challenge and breakthrough themselves. Ms.Guarino's suggestion is very practical and useful. I really enjoy my acting class.
